Special Issues

This was our barbeque this weekend. I'm the one with a bag over my shoulder.

Julia and I on Friday night.
Clinton pretending to be a rap star.
Tequila Tuesday.

A good reminder from the TV show Gilmore Girls.
 Where we've been living...

 Celebratory cake!

 Making deadline

Set up for Class Day
 Ready to report

 The chaos begins
 Getting set up in the press box
Paparazzi shots of Sonia Sotomayor!
 On Class Day, all the graduating seniors wear silly hats.
Like, really silly hats.

Last Stretch

Finished my oral exam for French on Wednesday and my foreign policy exam for History on Thursday. This weekend, I've been studying almost nonstop for my Eastern Europe exam, which is tonight. Luckily, I've had Chris here for company!

Finals? What finals? :P

The weather has been gorgeous the whole time. My Eastern Europe exam is tonight though, so I just dropped him off at Phelps Gate to go back to Columbia so I can finish studying :-( After this exam, just Philosophy, Linguistics and a French paper left.
